There is nothing I love more than cool, creamy ice cream, but with my awareness of saturated fat and calorie counting growing, I almost feel like it is not worth it. So I have come up with the perfect alternative, that you can easily have every single night with out the guilt and most importantly the increasing waistline. This recipe is paleo, gluten free & sugar free. The perfect healthy dessert for you to get your sweet fix after dinner, or throughout the day with zero guilt. This is 100% dairy free and you wouldn't no it. As I have this at least twice a week I have tired and tested all sorts of combinations; cocoa powder & orange, maple & walnut, vanilla, mango & passion fruit, pistachio, the list is endless. So don't be afraid to try them out, and let me know what you think. This variation is my go to. Banana, dark chocolate, cinnamon, raisin, walnut, honey & dried cranberry.

This yields the perfect amount for one generous serving. To make this quick treat you will need:

One frozen bananan

Small handful of toasted walnuts

1 & 1/2 squares of dark chocolate

Small handful of dried cranberry & cherry mix

1 tsp of cinnamon

1 tsp of honey

The method behind this madness..

Start by chopping you banana into pieces and placing it in the freezer for at least 45 minutes.

While the banana is chilling chose your ingredients that you would like to mix with your banana. I chose walnuts, dark chocolate, dried cranberries, honey and cinnamon.

Place these ingredients in your blender to make a crumb mixture

To make the banana ice-cream

Get your frozen banana from the freezer

Add to blender

Blend until smooth (15-20 seconds)

Leave about a table spoon of the crumbled walnut, cranberry and chocolate mixture to one side and mix through the rest with the frozen banana.
